Wedding Dress Dog Train

Finding a cozy place to lie down at the wedding

The main different styles of trains

Sweep: A small swish of a train that trails about six inches on the floor. This style (also called a “brush” train) is a good choice for outdoor brides who want a touch of glamour without too much fabric dragging on the ground, or indoor brides who prefer something more simple and low-key.

Chapel: A train that extends 12 to 18 inches along the floor and is slightly longer than the sweep. This is the most common style - it’s great for brides who want a more serious train without a lot of fuss. The overall look is elegant without being too heavy.

Cathedral: This train extends 22 or more inches along the floor and gives the dress a much more formal look. Cathedral-style gowns usually have a removable train or bustling option.

Semi-Cathedral: A train that is halfway between chapel and cathedral length.

Royal or Monarch: A train that extends a yard or more on the floor. It’s the most dramatic option and often requires assistance from a flower girl. Princess Diana wore a 25-foot train, while Kate Middleton’s train was just under nine-feet long.
